Very Computer

Hi
I have a problem with a couple of Sun workstations (sparc 5) that refuse
to mount internal cdroms.
The error I am getting is:
unable to mount hsfs
       /cdrom
The command I am using to mount the cd with is:
          /etc/mount -r -t hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
The cdrom directory exist, other directories like /usr/etc/mount_hsfs
exist. The device shows up on boot up ie sr0.

I get the same error on both systems.

However, I do have a third system where I can mount the cdrom ok using
the above command.

As a backup plan how can I remote mount this cdrom onto one of the other
systems. They are all networked together.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Mark B

try mount -t hsfs -o ro /dev/sr0 /cdrom
